Description

Transformers G1 Jetfire AFA 85 ** 3rd Highest Grade, Only 8 Higher ** (Hasbro, 1985). When Jetfire joined the Transformers lineup in 1985, he brought a level of sophistication and realism that elevated the entire brand. Adapted from the Takatoku Macross VF-1S Valkyrie mold, Hasbro's version combined sleek aerospace design with heroic gravitas, giving the Autobots their first true air superiority fighter. Jetfire's conflicted nature - scientist turned soldier, ally forged from doubt - made him one of the most complex and beloved characters of the Generation 1 era, embodying the franchise's growing depth and ambition. Graded AFA NM+ 85, with subgrades of B85 W90 F90, this Series 2 release ranks as the third highest grade known, with only eight examples achieving a higher mark in the population report. A flagship of early Transformers innovation, Jetfire remains one of the line's most technically impressive and enduring designs. For collectors seeking top-tier condition and a piece of G1 history that still feels lightyears ahead of its time, this Autobot soars above the rest - both in form and legend.
